Come, Lord Jesus: Devotions for the Home: Advent/Christmas/Epiphany

This devotional collection is perfect for little hands to hold and experience through the seasons of Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany. Readings, meditations, seasonal blessings, mealtime prayers, and songs prepare the home for the celebration of the Savior’s birth. With the introduction of customs from around the world, these activities also invite our curiosity about the lives of the people around us. The varied ideas in Come, Lord Jesus can also support creative worship planning during these seasons.

Good News, Great Joy: Devotions for Advent & Christmas 2024-2025

Good News, Great Joy: Devotions for Advent & Christmas 2024-2025 This pocket-size devotional explores, shares, and celebrates the joyous good news by continuing a centuries-old Christian tradition of setting aside time to prepare for the celebration of Jesus’ birth and to anticipate his return. From the first Sunday in Advent through Epiphany, this collection of readings, images, reflections, and “To Ponder” sections can focus us on the messages of the season. Amid the busy Advent and Christmas seasons, use these devotions as an opening meditation for a church meeting or a gift to treasured groups — especially a handbell choir!
